Sydney is trying hard to be a good son, but Jim makes it hard. He is a demanding man only because he's old and lazy for the most part. He (Jim) expects Sydney to act as all kids do and that is just not going to happen. Either way it is a good thing that Jim is here to at least spend time with Sydney because Sydney does love him and want his approval so bad. Nobody can get his approval and that is what makes him partly unbearable to be married to, that and his arrogance. Sydney did mow part of the front yard yesterday till the gas cap kept popping off. I bought a new one but now it's starting to rain. It will still be there later.
Memphis in May is a nightmare. Lots of drunk, happy people, and horrific traffic! What should have taken me 3 minutes to my destination took 35 minutes; yeah, that bad. Overall a good night and it gave me a break by staying busy till 5am. I found it hilarious when I stopped for gas and while filling up a young kid asked me if I was single, my underwear was older than him. All I could think of was the part in Mamma Mia
I would be lying if I said I wasn't concerned about surgery in 9 days. I understand that it is very painful and that my throat will be illy affected (is that a word?). Everything is pushed to the side so the pit crew can get in there and do maintenance. A good side affect is often weight loss-the hard way. But again, what concerns me most is the future CT scan to see if my node on my lung has grown any more. If it has, chemo is around the corner, I'm a pro at throwing up now and so that doesn't worry me much.
